[off-list ref] (03/01/11 1.891)
   [TRIDENT FBDEV] Driver ported to the new api.

[off-list ref] (03/01/10 1.887.1.4)
   Final updtes to the GTF code. Now the code can gnerate GTF timings regardless of the validity of info->monospecs.

   [ATYFB] Updates to the aty driver.

[off-list ref] (03/01/08 1.887.1.1)
   Remove fb_set_var. Some how it was missed in a merge conflict.

<jsimmons@kozmo.(none)> (03/01/08 1.889)
   [ATY] Somehow a merge mistake happened. We removed fb_set_var.

[off-list ref] (03/01/08 1.887)
   [MONITOR support] GTF support for VESA complaint monitors. Here we calculate the general timings needed so we don't over step the bounds for a monitor.

   [fbmem.c cleanup] Name change to make teh code easier to read.

[off-list ref] (03/01/07 1.879.2.95)
   Updates from Helge Deller for the console/fbdev drivers for the PARISC platform. Small fix for clearing the screen and a string typo for the Voodoo 1/2 driver.

[off-list ref] (03/01/06 1.879.2.93)
   [RIVA FBDEV] Driver now uses its own fb_open and fb_release function again. It has no ill effects. The drivers uses strickly hardware acceleration so we don't need cfb_fillrect and cfb_copyarea.
   Cleaned up font.h. Geerts orignal pacth broke them up into a font.h in video and one in  linux. Now I put them back together again in include/linux. The m68k platform has been updated for this change.


[off-list ref] (03/01/06 1.879.2.92)
   Added resize support for the framebuffer console. Now you can change the console size via stty. Also support for color palette changing on VC switch is supported.

[off-list ref] (03/01/06 1.879.2.91)
   I810 fbdev updates. Cursor fix for ati mach 64 cards on big endian machines. Buffer over flow fix for fbcon putcs function. C99 initializers for the STI console drivers.Voodoo 1/2 and NVIDIA driver updates.

James,

2.5 still doesn't work on my vaio (I think I told you about this 3-4
months ago) with the neofb. It just crashes with a black screen. If you
don't have any clues what the problem is, I can hook the machine up to a
serial console and see if anything interesting pops up. Using vesafb
does make it boot, however the screen stays pitch black until X loads...

I have 2 machines that are running 2.5.56 beatifully, except for fbcon 
and ISDN.
The laptop runs ATI radeon - when I attempt to boot with radeonfb+fbcon 
statically linked it wraps the pixels as if the driver is using 1410 
pixels per row while the hardware only has 1400
The desktop has a Vodoo 3500 AGP - when I attempt to boot with 
3dfxfb+fbcon statically it freezes early in the boot, probably right 
when the fb stuff starts.
I'm running 2.5.56 on both, so any tests, on any further info, just let 
me know.
I'm not on the list, so please CC me on any replies.

Marcelo Pacheco

VESA doesn't work either. Can you check to see if you have framebuffer 
console enabled. Yes I'm curious to see why your neofb doesn't work.

Can you try it with the latest code. I think fixes are in the standard 
tree for this.

It will work now. A bug in the imagebliting code for the fonts.

Ok, I got some very good news. I found a workaround that lets me use 
rivafb+fbcon 99% ok.
I have a 1400x1050 LCD panel. When I boot with fbcon, it garbles the 
screen like it thinks the screen has 1450 or so pixels. I can't read 
individual characters, and the each line starts further and further to 
the right.
I can login and startx on the blind, here's an fbset output at that point:

mode "1400x1050-60"
    # D: 108.003 MHz, H: 63.983 kHz, V: 60.191 Hz
    geometry 1400 1050 1400 1050 8
    timings 9259 136 40 10 0 112 3
    rgba 6/0,6/0,6/0,0/0
endmode

The if I do an fbset -g 1280 1050 1280 1050 8, I can start seeing 
characters on the screen, here's the fbset output at this point:

mode "1280x1050-65"
    # D: 108.003 MHz, H: 68.879 kHz, V: 64.797 Hz
    geometry 1280 1050 1280 1050 8
    timings 9259 136 40 10 0 112 3
    rgba 8/0,8/0,8/0,0/0
endmode

At this point there's 3 problems:

1 - stty is still attempting to use 175 columns which would have been 
correct for 1400x1050 with a 8x16 font, but the screen is not set to 
1280, I do an stty columns 160 and that is now worked around.

2 - The cursor is gone, so I can't edit lines or run vi under fbcon.

3 - If I switch color depths, the code doesn't seem to be clearing the 
screen before rendering the new text, so I end up with 1 or more scaled 
down copies of the old text.

Starting to get useable here.

Now I'll test 2.5.58bk1 with tdfxfb+fbcon, I'll post more soon.

Thanks and I'll subscribe to linux-fbdev-devel so I can get posted on 
the updates,

Marcelo Pacheco
